Building Readiness

Ensure your new building is ready to go from day one, with zero downtime or disruption

Moving to new business premises can be stressful enough, without finding out that things aren’t quite ready when you arrive. Your construction team will ensure the fit-out is complete, but who will ensure that it is totally ready for operations on day one?

From business-critical IT and communications infrastructure, to furniture and desks; soap in the bathrooms to supplies in the kitchens, minimising the disruption requires meticulous planning and attention to detail.

It also requires experienced feet on the ground to ensure every little detail is in place to achieve operational excellence from day one. Proper management is crucial to ensure that this critical element of the project is finished on time and on budget and that your people can get straight to work smoothly and efficiently.

How to manage an office move

Moving can be stressful, costly and time consuming for businesses. However, with some forward planning and plenty of organisation, there are ways to make it run more smoothly. If managed well, a seamless move will be quickly forgotten, but the ramifications of a poorly-managed move quickly impact upon income, operations, relationships and reputation.

2019 at a glance

It has been a busy year for us at MovePlan, as we’ve worked with clients across the world to support them with changes in their businesses, from implementing new ways of working to managing office relocations and reducing filing storage. As 2019 comes to an end, we think it’s important to look back and reflect on what we have achieved. Sharing statistics with staff is a great way of highlighting just how far your business has come, and gives everyone the motivation to build on that in 2020.
